PIumb's View of Diplomacy to
Literary Fellers."

Literary Feliers.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 2S-The con
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill was
the subject of long debate in the senate
Saturday, during which Plumb gave his fell
low members his views of the diplomatic
service. He spoke of the consular and
diplomatic service as being in bad condi-
ton, and said that he had his doubts as to
the propriety of keeping up the diplomatic
part of it, He believed that diplomacy ian
exaggerated form of lying could be carried
on directly between the state departments
of government without the intervention OF
of an American minister at any foreign
court Later on he spoke IN terms of ridieule
of the American minister at London. and Of
his predecessor, Mr.. Lowell, who, he said,
was more proud of being a citizen of the re
public of letters than of the republic Of the
United States Until some American enter
prise was got into the consular and diplo-
matte service it was just as well to leave it
in its present rut. In his Judgment neither
Mr. Phelps nor Mr.. Lowell should ever have
represented the United States abroad He
would not say that it was disgrace that
they had represented this country; but he
would say that it was great misfortune,
which ought to be repaired by the removal
of the present minister.

Luxuries and Necessaries

The falsity of tie claim of the protec-
tionists that the greater portion OF the
tariff taxes is laid upon the luxuries of
the rich rather than upon the necessities
of the poor. is shown in a recent article
in the Springfield Register. Our contem>
porary instances raw silk. which is adj
mitted free of duty. while raw wool is
taxed As per cent by the robber tariff; and
yet Randall and the republican prot &C.
tionists propose to keep up the outrage
by repeating the tax on tobacco and
lessening the tax on whisky.
Diamonds. articles of luxury used only
BY the rich, pay tariff tax of only ten
per cent: but common window glass, AN
article that enters into the necessary con
sumption of the poor an furnishes com
fort and admits daylight 10 the homes of
common people, under the robber tariff
is taxed eighty seven per cent What a
boon it would be to the sufferers from
the outrage to take the tax off tobacco
aud lessen it on whisky.
Gold studs that bedeck the polished
shirt fronts of the wealthy dudes are
taxed by the considerable tariff laws of
this land of the free aud the home of the
brave, only twenty-five per cent, while
the farmers and tesms,ers of the country
are compelled by the same laws to pay a
tax of one hundred and sixteen per cent.
for the nails with which their horses are
shOd. To afford the suffering farmers
and tesmsters relief from this outrageous
tax upon this industry Mr.. Randall and
his republican allies want the tax taken
of cigars and reduced on whisky
Finest thread lace, which is used only
by the wives of millionaires and mOnop>
olists, is admitted under our tariff laws
upon paying a tax of thirty per cent,
while spool thread. used by the widows,
the orphans and the wives of the masses,
is taxed fifty one per cent. and this tax
is collected by the monOpolists who mans
ufacture the thread off of every spool
that is purchased at every country store
as well as city store in the land, and
nearly all of it is paid as tribute from
the poor and those in moderate circum
stances 10 the nabobs of the class who
buy the finest thread lace As panacea
for this ruthless robbery of the poor

to Sherman was passed, and then the senate

diplomatic appropriation bill. Several sena-
tors-among them Beck-criticized the house
for the manner in which it had cut down the
appropriations in the bill Che senate commit
tee having restored most Of them. The de.
bate was long and desuitory, but the bill
finally passed with all the senate amend

The agricultural appropriation; providing
$4,000 for monument to Washington's
mother; granting right-of-way for the Den
